The copy of the game we played was pretty much broken. It took four attempts to start the first level after random crashes. If it were not for my son’s persistence, I would have given up altogether. The game offers some build-up, with a story, but nothing on the lines of an actual show. The gameplay could be equated to an ok flash game, with some action sequences added and very generic controls. Also, the story really does not matter. My son could not even explain it to me himself. All in all, the game was poorly made and executed. But being a 33-year old, I am not the demographic for this title. Let us find out what my son thought.

About Game

Paw Patrol/Mighty Pups: Save Adventure Bay does nothing to save itself from being mediocre and a weak attempt to take advantage of an easily exciting franchise. To me, the game was almost offensive, with its generic take and the developer’s hope that name recognition carries it – which it almost did. Like I said earlier, I am not the demographic for the game. Being six, my son liked the game, but I could tell he sees the faults in it. (Proud Dad note: He is finishing Breath of the Wild) I’m sure this game will sell well, by its name recognition, but it wasn’t too well received in my home. To simplify, I gave my son the option between 1-5 for a rating. With his ability to enjoy it, I can confidently give a score 6 out of 10 score even with all its faults.

Wait?! What happened to my four-year-old? What did she think of the game? Yeah, I lost her in about 10-mins to the Paw Patrol TV show. Technically, Paw Patrol: Mighty Pup is a perfectly cromulent pakage that, for the most part, runs well. Loading time are honestly archaic and there were times where my daughter simply lost interest in the game, due to the waiting involved. In a few instances there were some issues with clipping in the scenery and at one point, poor Marshall got stuck in a heat operated lift, with the only fix being switching character and moving on through the level. But aside from these instances, the game is well made and not just a cheap TV rip-off.

In much the same vein as the show; Chase, Marshal, Rubble, Skye et all assemble at Paw Patrol HQ where they are assigned missions. The general gameplay loop is follow the trail of doggy-treats (the game’s collectibles)towards the level’s goal. Occasionally you’ll happen upon an obstacle that that will require you to perform a simple mini-game in order proceed. These usually follow the tried and tested trope of mashing the B button repeatedly or pressing the same button as a moving meter passes the designated sweet spot. For any discerning adult, these would proof trifling, however, for younger gamers, they are absolutely spot on. My 3.5-year-old found them just about right and managed to complete them without being overly reliant on my help. Keen: One Girl Army Switch NSP

Missions require two pups to complete and as such, you’ll head out in tandem. Each character has individual skills that aid you in-game and help to proceed through the linear levels. To switch between doggos, you’ll be required to tap the R button. Aside from their individual inimitable skills, they never work in unison to solve puzzles. Again, this proved beneficial to younger gamers as the ease of the gameplay provided accessibility. Occasionally the puzzles or obstacles in your path are too treacherous to traverse. In these instances members of titular Mighty Pups are called in to offer their superior canine cunning. Unfortunately these sections follow the exact same gameplay tropes as the sections where you control the regular puppers, aside from their slightly spectacular end-of-section set pieces.

Outside of the game’s main missions, there are a selection of minigames to jump into. Ranging from the somewhat disconcerting Pup Pup Boogie Dance-off, to a simple game of Jump Rope there is a varied array of simple activities that can engage the smaller versions of yourself. In all honesty, as a fully grown adult gaming man, the tasks were menial, but my daughter found enjoyment in them, which is who the game is aimed at, so their simplicity doesn’t really hold up as a point of contention. Each of the game’s levels houses a selection of badges for you to collect and you are rewarded with a gallery of sorts for them. These show off different collectables – ranging from pup profiles to locations, for you to peruse at your pleasure Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes Switch NSP
